Shawn Levy's fantasy-adventure sequel again stars Ben Stiller and some impressive CGI effects. Two years after the original outing, former museum nightwatchman Larry Daley is now a successful businessman, and has been so busy that he's not had time to visit his secret chums at New York's Natural History Museum. And when he does finally make it, he discovers that many of them have been packed up and sent off for storage at the Smithsonian in Washington. Then Daley gets a call from Jebediah, one of the exhibits dispatched to Washington, to say that the evil Pharaoh Kahmunrah plans to take over the Smithsonian.

Leonard Nimoy directs and stars in the follow-up to The Search for Spock, as the re-born Spock. With the USS Enterprise destroyed, he, Kirk, Scotty and Dr McCoy have been in exile on Vulcan, awaiting trial for disobeying orders. However, as they approach Earth, a mysterious probe wreaks havoc with the planet's climate. The probe's message, interpreted by Spock, is meant for humpback whales only. But humpback whales have long been extinct, so the planet's only hope is for Spock and his team to travel back in time, in a stolen Klingon craft, to bring back a pair of whales. The script allows for a lot of fish-out-of-water jokes as the crew find themselves in 1980s San Francisco, with Spock's inability to master swearing a running gag, but there's also tension, as the clock ticks down in the future, with marine biologist Gillian Taylor their best hope of finding suitable whales to save a future Earth.

The Informers (Film) Film icon 3 star rating 15 certificate
Gregor Jordan's multi-stranded drama of 80s excess is based on a collection of short stories by Bret Easton Ellis. Among the ensemble cast are Kim Basinger, Billy Bob Thornton, Winona Ryder, Mickey O'Rourke and Rhys Ifans. The various elements of the plot are loosely held together by the story of an English band, managed by Rhys Ifans, whose tour has landed them in Los Angeles. But the real narrative unfolds around Graham, his friend Martin and Graham's girlfriend Christie and the various people they are sleeping or taking drugs with. In fact, the entire movie seems to function as a kind of sexual vortex, with any character appearing in it seemingly likely to be drawn inexorably to bed any of the other characters at some point. Against this hedonistic backdrop, there's also a plot line following the ultra-sleazy child-kidnapping Peter, uncle of Jack, who is the doorman at Christie's apartment.

But do either of his 'support staff' have what it takes to unlock his full potential? Ward's girlfriend Charlene thinks not and is agitating for change.

The Fighter (Film) Film icon 4 star rating 15 certificate
Mark Wahlberg stars in David O Russell's Oscar-winning biopic of the American welterweight boxer Micky Ward. Ward grew up in the supremely tough working-class neighbourhood of Lowell, Massachusetts, and, in the 90s, aimed for the classic escape from that environment - via boxing. Indeed, his brother Dicky Eklund once showed promise in the sport - but that was a decade ago, before he succumbed to drug addiction. Now the elder sibling is Micky's coach and, keeping it in the family, his ferocious mother Alice is acting as his manager. But do either of his 'support staff' have what it takes to unlock his full potential? Ward's girlfriend Charlene thinks not and is agitating for change. Will the good-natured pugilist put ambition before blood loyalty? Bale and Leo both picked up Academy Awards for their supporting roles in the drama.
